Mobile Nations Weekly: Auld lang gadgetry

2015 is in the books and 2016 is under way, but there's no time to rest and look back. CES 2016 is nearly here! The team's on their way to Las Vegas to check out the latest wares from across the tech universe.

Android Central — CES-bound

It was a pretty slow week in terms of news, as is usually the case the week before CES kicks off. If you're looking to get ready for the show be sure to check out our CES preview, and keep up with all of the fun from our dedicated CES 2016 page.

The big rumors of the week have to do with LG and Samsung's new flagships, with LG dropping some info on a potential G5 and the smallest of leaks coming out for the Galaxy S7. It's still very early, and we can expect more in the way of solid rumors once we hit February.

CrackBerry — Back to where we've been

We've made it through the holidays and have now kicked off the new year. Welcome to 2016 and thanks for being here with us. The first event of the year is CES and while things seem pretty quiet on the 'BlackBerry' specific side, we're expecting to hear quite a bit from QNX to get the year started on the right foot. Before all that takes place on January 6-9th, 2016, let's take a quick look at what happened to close us out of 2015.

In mobile news we unboxed and got our hands on the new low-cost Microsoft Lumia 550. And evidently AT&T is letting Microsoft update their Lumia 950 without any carrier interference. In fact, monthly OS updates for the new phone should be expected. Firmware, however, is another matter.

As for next week we're headed to CES in Las Vegas. Our coverage will focus on many new PCs, laptops, two-in-ones, and even a few new Windows Phones. Make sure you tune in starting tomorrow night for our on-the-ground coverage!
